Here are a few places to consider when you are planning your own fairy tale European vacation this fall. ◆ Zaanse Schans—Netherlands Just a short trip from the wonderful tree-lined city of Amsterdam is Zaanse Schans. You can explore traditional industries like wooden clog carving (木屐雕刻), barrel making, and participate in cheese tastings, visit the home of a fisherman, and even check out a working windmill. ◆ Hallstatt—Austria Situated on Lake Halstatt, the town itself was known for producing salt. But it’s also known for its beauty and has been named a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site. Start early at the town’s photo point to seize some of the most breathtaking shots of the location and yourself! ◆ Trondheim—Norway Beautiful walking trails with both mountain and seaside views are the perfect way to start a refreshing fall morning before taking in the scene at the K-U-K art gallery or a visit to the largest medieval cathedral (中世纪大教堂). It is also surrounded by countless small and large-scale food producers. ◆ Mdina—Malta With no cars allowed, the “silent city” has maintained an atmosphere of beauty and delight throughout time, and its mix of medieval and baroque (巴洛克式的) architecture, including palaces, gives the feeling that you are truly traveling back in time. 21. What can visitors do in Zaanse Schans? A. Operate a running windmill. B. Enter a cheese-making contest. C. Experience traditional carving skills. D. Treat friends in a fisherman’s home. 22. Which place favors photography lovers? A. Hallstatt. B. Zaanse Schans. C. Mdina. D. Trondheim. 23. Which of the following can visitors enjoy both in Norway and Malta? A. Wooden carving. B. Medieval buildings. C. Food tasting. D. Baroque palaces. B It was a regular Monday when I received an email from my son’s school about a coming science fair. At first, I thought, “Great, I can’t wait to see the project of my son, Tim.” The thought of colorful displays and creative ideas cheered me. However, as I read further, my excitement quickly turned to anxiety. Not only were students required to present their projects, but parents were expected to participate as well! This unexpected change left me feeling upset. “Oh, no. I’m not good at science and I haven’t done a project since I was in school. How can I help him?” I was also worried about how my lack of experience might affect my son and his chance to shine. That evening, my son came home full of excitement, “Dad, this is going to be wonderful. We should make a volcano that erupts!” And so, we began our project with some online research and a trip to the store for supplies. I realized that our project might be displayed for everyone to see and any mistake could be embarrassing. Our first attempt at building the volcano was a disaster. Fast forward to the weekend, and it was time for a practice run at school. I expected the other parents to be as confused as I was. I was wrong! They were so prepared that they could be scientists themselves. The pressure was on. Over the next few days, we worked hard and our project improved. My son was excited, and I started to enjoy the process, too. The day of the science fair arrived, and my nervousness faded. It turned out that concentrating on having fun with my son was the best way to overcome my worries. Plus, seeing his smile made everything worth it. Reflecting on the experience, I realized it had brought us closer. It was the first time my son and I had created something together. I now look forward to more projects in the future. 24. How did the author feel on receiving the letter? A. Disappointed. B. Anxious. C. Excited. D. Content. 25. What could be inferred about the son? A. He found the project too hard to complete. B. He relied heavily on his father for ideas. C. He obviously lacked self-confidence. D. He really looked forward to the project. 26. What helped get rid of the author’s worries? A. Completing the project without mistakes. B. His awareness that effort mattered more. C. Focus on working with his son together. D. Good preparations for the science fair. 27. What did the author realize after the science fair? A. The experience strengthened father-son ties. B. Those who are determined will succeed. C. The spirit of science is to keep trying. D. Two heads are better than one. C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 28. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A. Having better brain health in later life. B. Encouraging them to do things well. C. Getting courage to try new things. D. Becoming famous. 29. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sufficient. B. Positive. C. Absolute. D. Typical. 30. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A. It helps them stay physically active. B. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. C. It lowers the chance of developing dementia. D. It encourages them to sing more. 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To encourage people to join in music activities. B. To tell us what we should do in daily life. C. To describe that singing is good for health. D. To explain the importance of a hobby. D A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wild fire prevention. 32. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It changed the land into a lively plain. B. It took effect quicker than expected. C. It used animals to solve the issue. D. It cost significantly less money. 33. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They helped the trees grow better. B. They created water bodies. C. They protected dams. D. They ate the dry bush. 34. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. B. They got protected for their roles in ecology. C. They were threatened by humans. D. They are trained to stop wildfire. 35. What is the purpose of this text? A. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. B. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. C. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. D. To present a study on beavers behavior. 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 To protect yourself and your information, you’ll want to use long and strong passwords on the Web that are easy for you to recall but difficult for others to guess. However, some of the most commonly used passwords (密码) are based on family names, hobbies, or just a simple pattern. ____36____ Let’s take a look at some of the most common password mistakes and how to fix them. Password: brian12 kate 5 — It’s my kids’ names and ages. Problem: This password uses too much personal information, along with common words. Solution: ____37____ And rather than using family names, we could combine a character from a movie with a type of food. For example, Chewbacca and pizza could become chEwbAccA&p! ZZa. Password: w3St! — It’s just the beginning of my street address with a few extra characters. Problem: ____38____ It also includes part of the user’s address, which is publicly available (可获得的) information. Solution: A stronger version of this password would be much longer, ideally more than 10 characters. We could also use a nearby street name instead of her current address. For example, Pemberly Ave could become PeMberLY% Av. Password: 123abccba321 — ____39____ Problem: While patterns like this are easy to remember, they’re also some of the first things a hacker (黑客) might guess when trying to get your account (账户). Solution: Remember that random passwords are much stronger than simple patterns. If you’re having trouble creating a new password, try using a password generator (密码生成器) instead. Here’s an example of a generated password: #eV $plg& qf. Password: BrAve Z! 2 — I use the same passwords for all my accounts. Problem: ____40____ However, remember that you should never use the same password with different accounts. Solution: Create a unique password for each of your online accounts. A. This password is available at any time. B. This password is too short and simple. C. It’s long and difficult for someone else to guess. D. There’s nothing really wrong with this password. E. It’s easy to remember the simple pattern and type on my keyboard. F. This kind of password is easy to remember but highly insecure (不安全的). G. A stronger password would use symbols, capital letters, and a random order. 第三部分 语言运用（共两节，满分30分） 第一节（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 I picked up my phone to take a picture of the beautiful scenery.

Before I ___45___ defeat, I missed many breathtaking views that the tour guide was ___46___. I would probably never get to see them again, and wasn’t I on this trip to see them? I thought back to the conversation I had with my brother before ___47___ this trip. My brother suggested I just look at pictures and videos of Switzerland and save all the money and troubles. And I thought his idea was ___48___. How could photos and videos compare to actually going to Switzerland and ___49___ it? But wasn’t I planning on taking ____50____ pictures and then looking at Switzerland through a screen? I was ____51____ myself from having the experience that I had been looking forward to. So a trip without taking pictures was actually a blessing. I was ____52____ to take mental pictures and to experience Switzerland. Now, a year later, as I continue to share my travel experiences with my friends, I no longer use pictures. ____53____, I use my unique experiences to create an image in their minds that no ____54____ could ever match.

I’m afraid we’re going to have to amputate (截肢) your son’s leg,” the doctor explained to Jackie Burns as she fought back tears of desperation. In June 2018, her 10-year-old son Gavin was in a horrific car accident. He had been airlifted by medical helicopter to a local children’s hospital where he underwent several surgeries trying to save his left leg and foot. But nothing had worked. Gavin ultimately had to have his leg amputated from the knee down. After 17 days in the hospital, the boy was finally able to go home. The following year, Gavin did not go to a regular school. Instead, he was taught at home. This was very difficult because he had to handle many things at once. He needed to go to physical therapy (治疗) regularly, visit the doctor, and learn how to use his prosthetic leg (假肢). Later, he had to have another surgery. Life was very hard for him. When he was finally able to go back to school, he still needed help. Besides using his prosthetic leg, he also had to use a wheelchair to get around. He was very worried about fitting in with his classmates again. Other kids could run and jump, but he was not the same. He was afraid people might look at him differently or think he was strange. “You’re still the same Gavin inside even though you may look different from other kids,” Jackie said, hugging him tightly. “You can still do anything you put your mind to. I believe in you!” As the years rolled by, Gavin held on to his mother’s words, and by high school, he had become stronger, more confident and more skilled at using his prosthetic leg. One day, the 17-year-old came into the kitchen with a smile. “Mom, I want to play football.” Jackie froze and her heart skipped a beat. “Are you sure?” Gavin raised his head with confidence and answered loudly and clearly, “I am.

C 【解析】 【原文】“The average person spends between eight and ten hours on average in bed every night, so it’s important to spend some time getting your bedroom environment right!” Hayley Worley, founder of Sheet Society, knows a thing or two about getting a good night’s sleep. And she believes that your bedroom plays a huge role in the length and quality of your sleep. So what can boost our beauty sleep in the bedroom? First, with the right styling, blankets can bring warmth and softness to your bedroom. Position a small blanket at the foot of your bed to create visual balance and a sense of cosiness around the space where you rest and sleep. Second, for a deep sleep, we’re turning to soft and silky bamboo bedding. Third, add a new step to your “wind down” routine with a hot cup of herbal tea. Fourth, color plays an important part in calming you down, so pick a color or combination that suits your personal style. Last but not least, the right lighting is the key to relaxation. In the evenings, it helps to switch off any main lights and use softer, warm lighting to light your home. Style your bedside with a low-lit table lamp, as darker light is proven to be helpful for sleep. 第二部分 阅读（共两节，满分50分) 第一节(共15小题；每小题2.5分，满分37.5分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 A While anytime is the perfect time to take a European vacation, there is something special about autumn.

At first, I thought, “Great, I can’t wait to see the project of my son, Tim.” The thought of colorful displays and creative ideas cheered me. However, as I read further, my excitement quickly turned to anxiety. Not only were students required to present their projects, but parents were expected to participate as well! This unexpected change left me feeling upset. “Oh, no. I’m not good at science and I haven’t done a project since I was in school. How can I help him?” I was also worried about how my lack of experience might affect my son and his chance to shine. That evening, my son came home full of excitement, “Dad, this is going to be wonderful. We should make a volcano that erupts!” And so, we began our project with some online research and a trip to the store for supplies. I realized that our project might be displayed for everyone to see and any mistake could be embarrassing. Our first attempt at building the volcano was a disaster. Fast forward to the weekend, and it was time for a practice run at school. I expected the other parents to be as confused as I was. I was wrong! They were so prepared that they could be scientists themselves. The pressure was on. Over the next few days, we worked hard and our project improved. My son was excited, and I started to enjoy the process, too. The day of the science fair arrived, and my nervousness faded. It turned out that concentrating on having fun with my son was the best way to overcome my worries. Plus, seeing his smile made everything worth it. Reflecting on the experience, I realized it had brought us closer. It was the first time my son and I had created something together. I now look forward to more projects in the future. 24.

We should make a volcano that erupts!”(那天晚上，我儿子兴奋地回到家，“爸爸，这会很棒的。我们应该造一座喷发的火山！”)” 可知，儿子对这次科学项目充满期待。 【26题详解】 细节理解题。根据第五段“It turned out that concentrating on having fun with my son was the best way to overcome my worries. (事实证明，专心陪伴儿子、享受合作过程，是克服内心烦恼最好的方式。)”可知，和儿子并肩协作、专注相处化解了作者的焦虑。 【27题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Reflecting on the experience, I realized it had brought us closer. (回顾这段经历，我意识到它让父子二人变得更加亲近。)”可知，这次合作经历增进了父子感情，加强了父子关系。 C When children learn a musical instrument, one of the hardest things for a parent to do is encourage them to practice. But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life. That might not be enough to encourage a child who has better things to do, but it’s good news for those who enjoy music. Researchers from the UK looked at data from an online survey of more than 1,000 people over the age of 40 who had been asked to talk about their musical experiences and exposure (暴露) to music during their lives. They were also given tasks that tested their memory and skills in things like planning and focusing. The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect. Singing was related to better brain health in older age too. The research team suggested that the social factors that came with singing in a singing group may also have had an effect. One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. She said, “There is much evidence for the benefit of music group activities for individuals with dementia.” And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia. Of those who took part in the survey, 89% said they had played a musical instrument at some time in their lives, and about half still played one. Around seven out of ten said they had taken part in group singing. 28. Which is a benefit children learning musical instruments get according to the text? A. Having better brain health in later life. B. Encouraging them to do things well. C. Getting courage to try new things. D. Becoming famous. 29. What does the underlined word “salutary” in paragraph 3 mean? A. Sufficient. B. Positive. C. Absolute. D. Typical. 30. According to Anne, how could music benefit older adults? A. It helps them stay physically active. B. It provides a relaxing mind in their free time. C. It lowers the chance of developing dementia. D. It encourages them to sing more. 31. What is the author’s purpose of writing the text? A. To encourage people to join in music activities. B. To tell us what we should do in daily life. C. To describe that singing is good for health. D. To explain the importance of a hobby. 【答案】28. A 29. B 30. C 31. A 【解析】 【导语】主要介绍一项研究表明学习演奏乐器、参与合唱有益于大脑健康，且能降低老年人患上痴呆的风险。 【28题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段中的“A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(一项研究发现，演奏乐器可能使人晚年拥有更好的大脑健康状况。)”可知，学习乐器能让孩子在晚年收获更好的大脑健康。 【29题详解】 词句猜测题。根据第三段中的“The study found that playing a musical instrument, especially the piano, was connected with better memory and thinking skills. And continuing to play an instrument into later life was found to have an even more salutary effect.(研究发现，演奏乐器尤其钢琴，与更好的记忆力和思维能力相关，晚年持续演奏乐器会产生更加salutary效果。)”可知，演奏乐器对大脑有益，坚持练习效果更佳，因此划线单词salutary表示“积极有益”的含义。 【30题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段中的“And she suggested that such activities could be used to reduce the risk of developing dementia.(并且她提出，这类音乐活动可以用来降低患上痴呆症的风险。)”可知，音乐活动能够减少老年人患痴呆症的概率。 【31题详解】 推理判断题。通读全文，尤其是第一段中的“But here’s something parents can use to give their kids a reason to try: A study has found that playing a musical instrument may lead to better brain health in later life.(但有一个理由可以让家长鼓励孩子尝试：研究发现演奏乐器有益于晚年大脑健康。)”以及第四段中的“One of the researchers, Anne Corbett, who is a professor of dementia (痴呆) research at the University of Exeter, said that encouraging older adults to return to music later in life could be a useful public health strategy. (埃克塞特大学痴呆症研究教授安妮·科贝特是研究人员之一，她表示，鼓励老年人在晚年重拾音乐爱好，或是一项切实有效的公共卫生策略。)”可知，文章列举多项研究结论，介绍乐器演奏与歌唱对各年龄段人群的脑部益处，由此可推断，作者写作此文意在鼓励人们积极参与各类音乐活动。 D A dried-out plain in the north of Sacramento, California was in perfect condition to fuel wildfires. It was 2014, and California was experiencing its worst drought in decades. The plain was full of dry brush. Fire prevention workers and ecologists in the state were desperately working to reduce potential wildfire fuel sources anywhere they could. Ecologists, facing a dangerously dry plain and a price tag of at least one million dollars for a major construction project to fix the site, did something surprising. They called in the beavers (河狸). Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do. Beavers have essentially evolved to be the engineers of nature, transforming their landscape to suit their needs and to protect them from predators. They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive. The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting. However, after the desire for beaver hats and coats reduced, the population began to recover. The success of the project has led to a number of other projects using beavers for land restoration through California. Government programs were beginning to take notice and offer training to local people on how to use beavers for wild fire prevention. 32. Why was Ciotii surprised by the project? A. It changed the land into a lively plain. B. It took effect quicker than expected. C. It used animals to solve the issue. D. It cost significantly less money. 33. How did the beavers reduce the wildfire fuel sources? A. They helped the trees grow better. B. They created water bodies. C. They protected dams. D. They ate the dry bush. 34. What do we know about beavers in North America? A. They are the main solution to the wildfire problem. B. They got protected for their roles in ecology. C. They were threatened by humans. D. They are trained to stop wildfire. 35. What is the purpose of this text? A. To inform the use of beavers in wildfire prevention. B. To introduce the benefits of working with animals. C. To illustrate the cause and effect of wildfire. D. To present a study on beavers behavior. 【答案】32. B 33. B 34. C 35. A 【解析】 【导语】文章主要介绍2014年加利福尼亚州遭遇严重干旱，北部一片干涸平原易引发野火，生态学家引入河狸进行治理，河狸不仅使土地恢复生机，还快速且低成本地减少了野火燃料源，其成功案例引发了更多利用河狸预防野火的项目。 【32题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段“He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried - out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back.(他原本估计河狸需要大约十年时间才能使这片干涸的土地恢复成溪流遍布的状态，但这些动物远超他的预期。到第三年，水就回来了。)”可知，Ciotii对项目感到惊讶是因为它比预期生效得更快。 【33题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land.(由于引入了这些动物，这个地方恢复成了一片生机勃勃的平原，树木破土而出，溪流在这片土地上流淌)”以及第三段“They are quick in the water and can build dams (水堤) to make ponds and wetlands where they can better survive.(它们在水中行动敏捷，能够建造水堤形成池塘和湿地，以便更好地生存)”可知，河狸通过建造水堤形成水体，改变了干涸的环境，从而减少了野火燃料源。 【34题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“The population of beavers in North America was once driven down due to heavy hunting.(由于过度捕猎，北美的河狸数量曾经大幅下降)”可知，北美的河狸曾受到人类的威胁。 【35题详解】 推理判断题。根据第二段“Thanks to the introduction of the animals, the site was restored to a lively plain, with trees popping up and streams flowing across the land. Damon Ciotii, a biologist who led the project, said he was amazed by the results of the project. He had estimated that the beavers would take about a decade to return the dried-out land to streams in the region, but the animals blew away his expectations. By year three, water was back. Ultimately, the project only cost $58,000, which was used to prepare the land for the beavers to come in and do what they do.(得益于这种动物的引入，这片区域恢复成了一片生机勃勃的原野，树木破土而生，溪流蜿蜒流淌。 主导该项目的生物学家达蒙・乔蒂表示，项目成效令他大为震惊。 他原本预估，河狸需要约十年时间，才能让这片干涸的土地重新恢复水系、重现溪流， 但这些动物带来的改变远远超出了他的预期。 到第三年，水源便重新回归。 最终，整个项目仅花费 5.8 万美元，这笔资金主要用于改造环境、搭建适宜河狸栖息的家园，让它们自然发挥本能、改造生态。)”可知，文章主要讲述了加利福尼亚州利用河狸减少野火燃料源，预防野火，且其成功案例引发更多相关项目，所以文章目的是告知人们河狸在预防野火方面的用途。 第二节 (共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5分) 阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 To protect yourself and your information, you’ll want to use long and strong passwords on the Web that are easy for you to recall but difficult for others to guess. However, some of the most commonly used passwords (密码) are based on family names, hobbies, or just a simple pattern. ____36____ Let’s take a look at some of the most common password mistakes and how to fix them. Password: brian12 kate 5 — It’s my kids’ names and ages. Problem: This password uses too much personal information, along with common words. Solution: ____37____ And rather than using family names, we could combine a character from a movie with a type of food. For example, Chewbacca and pizza could become chEwbAccA&p! ZZa. Password: w3St! — It’s just the beginning of my street address with a few extra characters. Problem: ____38____ It also includes part of the user’s address, which is publicly available (可获得的) information. Solution: A stronger version of this password would be much longer, ideally more than 10 characters. We could also use a nearby street name instead of her current address. For example, Pemberly Ave could become PeMberLY% Av. Password: 123abccba321 — ____39____ Problem: While patterns like this are easy to remember, they’re also some of the first things a hacker (黑客) might guess when trying to get your account (账户). Solution: Remember that random passwords are much stronger than simple patterns. If you’re having trouble creating a new password, try using a password generator (密码生成器) instead. Here’s an example of a generated password: #eV $plg& qf. Password: BrAve Z! 2 — I use the same passwords for all my accounts. Problem: ____40____ However, remember that you should never use the same password with different accounts. Solution: Create a unique password for each of your online accounts. A. This password is available at any time. B. This password is too short and simple. C. It’s long and difficult for someone else to guess. D. There’s nothing really wrong with this password. E. It’s easy to remember the simple pattern and type on my keyboard. F. This kind of password is easy to remember but highly insecure (不安全的). G.

I’m afraid we’re going to have to amputate (截肢) your son’s leg,” the doctor explained to Jackie Burns as she fought back tears of desperation. In June 2018, her 10-year-old son Gavin was in a horrific car accident. He had been airlifted by medical helicopter to a local children’s hospital where he underwent several surgeries trying to save his left leg and foot. But nothing had worked. Gavin ultimately had to have his leg amputated from the knee down. After 17 days in the hospital, the boy was finally able to go home. The following year, Gavin did not go to a regular school. Instead, he was taught at home. This was very difficult because he had to handle many things at once. He needed to go to physical therapy (治疗) regularly, visit the doctor, and learn how to use his prosthetic leg (假肢). Later, he had to have another surgery. Life was very hard for him. When he was finally able to go back to school, he still needed help. Besides using his prosthetic leg, he also had to use a wheelchair to get around. He was very worried about fitting in with his classmates again. Other kids could run and jump, but he was not the same. He was afraid people might look at him differently or think he was strange. “You’re still the same Gavin inside even though you may look different from other kids,” Jackie said, hugging him tightly. “You can still do anything you put your mind to. I believe in you!” As the years rolled by, Gavin held on to his mother’s words, and by high school, he had become stronger, more confident and more skilled at using his prosthetic leg. One day, the 17-year-old came into the kitchen with a smile. “Mom, I want to play football.” Jackie froze and her heart skipped a beat. “Are you sure?” Gavin raised his head with confidence and answered loudly and clearly, “I am. After all, you said I could do anything!” 注意：1．续写词数应为150个左右； 2．请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 With his parents’ support, Gavin signed up for the football team and was accepted. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Finally, the day for the football game came. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】 With his parents’ support, Gavin signed up for the football team and was accepted. At first, he was a bit nervous, wondering if he could keep up with the other players who all had two healthy legs. However, his coach, who had seen Gavin’s determination during the tryouts, encouraged him, saying, “You’ve got a strong spirit, Gavin, and that’s what matters most on the field.” Gavin took these words to heart and practiced tirelessly, learning how to balance and run with his prosthetic leg. His teammates, who initially had doubts, soon grew to respect him for his hard work and positive attitude. Finally, the day for the football game came. Gavin’s heart pounded with excitement as he stepped onto the field, his prosthetic leg feeling steady beneath him. The crowd roared as the game began, and Gavin focused on every move, knowing that this was his chance to prove himself. During a crucial play, he intercepted the ball and sprinted towards the goal, his teammates cheering him on. As he scored, the stadium erupted in applause, and Gavin knew that all his efforts had paid off. After the game, his coach hugged him and said, “You’ve shown everyone that nothing can stop you, Gavin.” Gavin smiled, feeling proud of what he had achieved, knowing that his mother’s words had guided him every step of the way. 【解析】 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开。Gavin因车祸截肢，经历诸多困难后重返校园，在母亲鼓励下重拾信心。高中时他已能熟练运用假肢，并最终决定挑战自我，向母亲提出想要踢足球的愿望。 【详解】1.段落续写 ①由第一段句首可知，第一段可以描写Gavin在父母支持下加入足球队后的初期经历，包括他的紧张情绪、教练的鼓励以及他如何通过不懈努力赢得队友的尊重。 ②由第二段句首可知，第二段可以描写Gavin参加足球比赛的过程，他如何抓住机会证明自己，进球后的反应，以及比赛结束后教练的赞扬和Gavin内心的感受，最后升华文章的主旨：坚持与爱能使人克服一切困难，实现梦想。 2.续写线索：加入足球队后的初期经历与努力——足球比赛的过程与表现——进球后的反应与教练的赞扬——内心的感受与主旨升华 3.词汇激活 行为类 ①鼓励：encourage/motivate/inspire ②冲刺：sprint/dash/rush 情绪类 ①紧张：nervous/anxious/uneasy ②兴奋：excitement/thrill 【点睛】【高分句型1】At first, he was a bit nervous, wondering if he could keep up with the other players who all had two healthy legs.
